If you attended the San Francisco International Inquiry into 9-11, imagine a smaller scale version, without the main speakers in the Herbst Theater.


Program Schedule

* 9:00 am- Opening Circle - Orientation - Room 207

Throughout the day, this will be where people will get their bearings, find the program, add poster sessions. We will also have tabling, art, music, a place to relax, socialize, informal networking.

* 10:00 am- 12:00 noon. Presentation - 9/11: Three Issues Analalyzed - Room 219

Description: In May 2003 officials from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) testified before the The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission). These hearings received almost no coverage at the time or since, despite their significance to the understanding of the events of September 11th, 2001. Among the issues their testimony addresses were:

1)The evidence of weapons (boxcutters? gun?) used by the alleged hijackers
2)Were the notifications of the hijackings from the FAA to NORAD delayed or in real time?
3)Did NORAD respond by attempting to intercept the hijacked planes?

These three issues will be addressed using video clips of the officials own testimony.

* 12:00 noon - 1:00 pm. Discussion of 9-11: Three Issues Analzyzed - Room 215


Music
* 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm. Music and singing by Annie and the Vets - Room 207

Jim will join us in the evening for a debate on the collapse of the buildings.

(We hope to schedule a Examination/Debate on the collapse of the WTC buildings with Jim Hoffman and Paul Cox, of Veterans for Peace, who has considerable experience in construction and the assesing of the structural integrity of damaged buildings- time to be announced).

* 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Presentation: Republican Terror Manipulations: Why They Work, Who They Target, and How To Prevent Them Permanently by Christian Pecaut - Room 202

1st hour Presentation on four topics:

1. Fight or Flight Hoax -- Attachment to Protection as Actual Human Response to Terror
2. Absolute Definition and Distinction Between Leftist/Liberal/Democratic and Right-Wing/Conservative/Republican Behavior, with a discussion of how failure to make these distinctions prevents accurate assessment of responsibility for 9/11
3. Current Target of the Terror Manipulations are the Clintons and the Liberal Ruling Class
4. How the New Orleans Disaster has been used to cover-up Right-Wing complicity in the London bombings, demonstrates that Right-Wingers and the Republicans are the LEAST qualified members of society to transform anxiety into solution.

During the second hour, we will have an interactive organized conversation combining the ideas of the presentation and the ideas of attendees. We will print these out, put them up on the wall, and come to "same-for-everyone conclusions" about what is "accurate/inaccurate" and "helpful/harmful." These topics are discussed at length by Neil Robert Miller, at http://www.imaginenine.com/accuracybasedpolitics.pdf

Christian Pecaut- In the fall of 2003, Christian conducted a student-initiated class at Stanford University called 'The Science of Social Problem Solving.' Here the ideas contained in the Paradigm from California http://www.imaginenine.com) were explained and directly applied into a series of organized conversations on topics such as:

Definition of Human Intelligence and How Terror Prevents Accurate Social and Political Conclusions, Why the Left Always Loses, Definition of a Paradigm and Comparison to Current Society's Mis-System.

Since then, he has worked at independent bookstores in San Francisco, and currently is helping to bring the ideas developed at Stanford to the Berkeley University Community. He can be reached at workoutwellforall [at] gmail.com, 415-573-5655.

* 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm. Mya Shone - Room 213 - The Global Gulag: 9/11 and the Architecture of the Fascist State. 40 Minute presentation and 20 minute Q & A.

Mya Shone is an economist and has a long history as an activist involved in political, community and labor issues. She worked closely with both Casa Nicaragua and Casa El Salvador during the struggles taking place in Central America, and was the coordinator of the Tri-County (Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo) Labor Party chapter. She was also a newscaster and reporter at KPFK in Los Angeles.

* 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Ralph Schoenman - Room 213 - Treason at the Top: Class rule and the terrorizing of the American people 1 hour presentation - with an hour for Q & A.

* 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm Film- JFK to 9-11 Room 212 - An excerpt from a three hour length Japanese television production which links the perpetrators of the Kennedy Assasination to current power-holders, to be followed by a discussion with Paul Kangas.

* 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm Movie: Election 2004: Republican Terror Manipulations, How and Why They Work, Room 212
An interview with Neil Robert Miller (27 min), along with a 30 minute organized discussion period following the movie with Christian Pecaut

* 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm Jim Hoffman and Paul Cox will debate the causes of the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. Room 212

Jim Hoffman's websites http://www.911review.com and http://www.wtc7.net makes a very strong case against the official explanation for the collapse of the towers, and Jim has spoken widely on this subject. Paul Cox, one of the great allies of the Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance, a true leader in Veteran's for Peace, one of the most respected, effective groups engaged in anti-war work, who has helped us substantially over the years to get the use of the Herbst Theater and the building for our events, also has experience in construction and assesing the structural integrity of buildings and has found some faults in Jim's arguments. The debate should be educational for everyone and bring us closer to discovering the truth about what really happened.

"Food, Drink, Donations for Hurricane Katrina's Victims"

The tragedy that has befallen New Orleans has been compounded by the utter failure of the US government to actually protect the health and welfare of its citizens. We find evidence of criminal behavior in the neglect of New Orleans prior to, during and after the hurricane.

The Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance is not a wealthy organization and all of our funds go towards fulfilling our mission statement, but on September 11th, at the Veteran's War Memorial Building, we would like to encourage people to bring drinks, or food to share in Room 207, our socializing room, and we would encourage those who are hungry and thirsty to think of the people in New Orleans, as we share what food and drink we have, and make monetary donations towards the victims of Katrina.

We know that the Red Cross grossly mishandled its distribution of funds for the victims of 9-11 and we promise to send the donations we collect for the food and drink that are brought and shared amongst those of us who are hungry and thirsty, at our 14 hour event, to local organizations in the New Orleans area who have a history of helping the poor in that region.

Please be generous. The word "community" comes from the Latin "Free Exchange of Gifts." Let us nurture community, as we strive to put an end to state-sponsored terrorism, violence and war.

We will send money collected to Grassroots/Low-income/People of Color-led Hurricane Katrina Relief organizations that are listed on the Indymedia New Orleans website.

If you can't come to our event, but want to help those who were struck by Katrina, please help these organizations:
